Fun with Dm
Enjoyed the lesson and learned a lot especially playing in syncopation with melody and chords. Lots of room here to practice different grooves.
Enjoyable
I’m finding these courses a lot of fun but also challenging. Its amazing how much I have picked up in such a short time period.
Fill in the gaps of Dminor
great tip regarding root position to 2nd inversion of the following chord pattern
Something New in Every Course
I haven't played any swing style pieces, so this was a fun addition to the usual parts about scales, diatonic chords, chord progressions, inversions, and accompaniment. I find the minor scales more challenging with all of the different variations in scales and extra chords that come from that. Doing all of these exercises in each key is reinforcing the concepts well and building muscle memory and chord recognition.
Loved the patterns
Loved the patterns with RH inversions and simple but effective addition to melody
